A different perspective on global and local issues not the headline news

Don’t you worry ’bout a thing

I talked to someone about Trump, and he tells me we are in good hands. He listens to Fox News and plays golf 3 times a week. Not a bad life.

There are some real tough questioning coming up on Trump’s cabinet positions. I guess the most troublesome is our future relations with China. We can not have a trade war with China, and expect their help in stopping North Korea’s nuclear plans.

I would think there is nothing more urgent than a united front against North Korea. Trump would be wise to remember that a majority of Americans voted for Hillary Clinton, whose campaign slogan was “stronger together.”

There was a great discussion on Fareed Zakaria show (GPS) with James Baker, saying that what previous republican presidents (Reagan & HW Bush) have favored was free trade agreements, and Trump’s new cabinet tends more towards protectionism. Baker said Trump as candidate, or now president-elect is not the same as when he actually moves into the White House with the staff making recommendations.

Baker may be right. He’s not yet our president. However, the more Trump goes after Mexico stealing our jobs and their citizens pouring over the border, the more I worry that it’s the same old Trump, always playing politics with an incoherent foreign policy strategy.
